The sunglasses feel too contempo/euro for the rest of the outfit. And it's a minor nit, but I guess if have to wear driving gloves, I'd prefer dark gray or black against the rest of this otherwise lugubrious color palette.Originally Posted by Cary Grant
I've also always felt the way they cut sleeves for you to be awfully roomy... but that's just a personal preference (are these on the long side as well?)
Thought the same thing myself, about both the glasses and the sleeves (the right sleeve looks ok, left a little baggy). But a few thoughts on that:
-its so hard to capture the elements of fit in still photographs...could be the angle he's standing that makes the sleeves look different to me, and even light/angle/posture that makes them look fuller than they actually are.
-I can't imagine Matt with any sunglasses that don't make him look like LabelKing as he is so small.
I do like the color scheme and the pop of the scarf, square and gloves. Looks nice Matt.

- great cloth & your pants look good, maybe angle of photography?Originally Posted by Phat Guido
Thank you. May be the angle, but I am going to experiment with some variation in size of trouser opening to find my golden ratio.

Beautiful coat! Do you mind if I ask you camera settings?
Been a long time.Originally Posted by mafoofan
Sportcoat looks wonderful and I don't see the sleeves as too baggy - is it 2 or 3 button? Not enough contrast with the pants, the bright square and gloves look out of place, and the glasses are just too feminine (stick with aviators).
PG really glad your back posting critique. Firstly because its not nasty/snarky, but actually helpful. Secondly because your personal style has some elements of groupthink, but not all of them, so your voice doesn't come across as autocratic. Its a much more versatile critique if that makes sense.Originally Posted by NewYorkRanger

^Spoo, many of your fits--yesterday and today included--look sorta ok from a distance, but once you get up close nothing harmonizes and it looks like the colors and patterns are trying to go off in twelve different directions. I'd go with a solid tie with that coat and shirt, or at most one with a very widely spaced out stripe or small pattern. As it is it's just too busy. None of the elements, which are all great on their own, can stand out because they're trying to shout each other down.
Well, thanks! Appreciate that.

Every party needs a poop, etc... and it is here where you come in.Originally Posted by NotDickDiver
If your idea of a party is mean-spirited ridicule of other people, I am ******* thrilled you and I don't run in the same social circles.

Mean-spirited ridicule? Maybe you are reading too much into things. But if it occurs, I do agree with you.

It's Porter & Harding Thornproof donegal, from a few years ago.Originally Posted by mafoofan
Lovely cloth.
I've always admired your style, but this particular look, with those fingerless gloves and the glasses and scarf, amounts to a "half-labelking." Combined with your usual old man style it makes an odd hybrid. I think it's mostly a matter of contrast balance. The overly sober color contrast of the main clothing items is unbalanced by the strong contrast with the accessories.Originally Posted by Baron
It's actually starting to grow on me the more I look at it. It would be better with tan/chestnut shoes.
I concur with Baron. Brown shoes would be an improvement. Overall, I like the more youthful elements on you.
@IST: That sport coat everyone's been quoting is every bit as good as they say it is. Is it an Etro piece?
@NYR: Those trousers! More power to you.
@Orgetorix: I also liked the jeans and tweed combo. The coat would be too small for business wear, but it works with jeans.
@Spoo. The green cords are perfect for the jacket. The scales of the shirt pattern and the coat pattern don't work together. You really need a solid tie to calm things down.
@yfyf. I follow your posts for fresh ideas about color. Your recent posts have given me lots of ideas. Thanks!
